How tall is Sylvester Stallone ?

Sylvester Stallone's height is 5ft 8.5in (174 cm)

Peak height was 5ft 9in (175 cm)

American actor best known for films like the Rocky series, the Rambo series, the Expendables series, Cliffhanger, Demolition Man, Judge Dredd and Cobra. In a 1991 interview with Longevity magazine he said "I'm 5'10" and in a 1993 edition of the New York Times added a fraction, saying "I'm exactly 5 feet 10 1/2 inches". The highest he has claimed - quoted in a 1978 Playboy interview - was that "I'm five feet ten and three quarters tall."

Cinema.com, on meeting him, said "Sly, shorter than you expect at 5-foot-eight", which he once even mentioned himself: "I'm shorter and skinnier than you Expected". His footwear has always been a source of contention and in a 1990 Chicago Times article, the journalist mentioned "The real-life Rambo is an official 5 foot 10 1/2 inches tall, but that is with the generous boost of what can only be described as elevator shoes". Indeed, a specialist Italian shoemaker once commented that he "made him 4.5 inches taller for 16 years!". Whilst that might be a bit of an exaggeration, there are definitely tricks to looking taller.

In the screenwriter William Goldman's book 'About Lies Stars Tell', he revealed his own estimation of Sly's stature, saying "I had a hot lead that Sly was 67 inches," revealing his source to be someone who also stood around that height and had jogged with Sly one morning. Goldman goes on to describe how he went into a swimming pool that Sly was in...and about 10 minutes later, "He (sly) got out, grabbed a towel. I got out, grabbed a towel. He stood. I stood. Sixty-seven inches. Dripping wet." An ex-partner of Sly - Supermodel Janice Dickenson - claimed in her book 'Everything about me is fake' that when Sly was trying to pick her up, she recalled "Who was this guy to go dissing me while he's standing there in his custom-made elevator shoes." and also that "I couldn't believe how short he was". Another actress, Melinda Dillon - from F.I.S.T - commented in The Chicago Tribune that "I'm taller than Sly and that bothers him and we kid about it so I take off my shoes in some scenes. I can't slouch or I wouldn't be Anna. She's very upright."

Fellow action stars have even chimed in on his hard-to-pin-down height, most notably Belgian superstar Van Damme, who once said "I'm 5-foot-10, a good size for movies. If you're too big a guy, it's hard to find good villains. That's why Stallone always has good villains. He's short."

5'7 isnt absurd when givin his munsters....he"ll pull 5'10 in his shoes from a 5'7 size...

bernie says on 2/Mar/15
@HeightcrazyRed6ft - he seems to be 6' foot here at "Wetten dass..", and these munsters almost look kind of ridiculous, must give him a solid 4", he's struggeling to keep the balance to avoid falling forward when walking down the sairs. Around 5'8" is suitable for him nowadays...
@Frankie68 - i agree, he often appears 5'10"-5'11" range, but he's not wearing those 4 inchers big boots like in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tnovTI5O6c all the time. So thats why i think 5'7" is to low...

Dmeyer says on 1/Mar/15
His footwear including lifts has never Been over 2.5-2.75in , and Many Times just 1.3-2in and yet pulled off near 5'11 Many Times

I really think this munster customs gave him 3.5-4" , the host is legit 6´3"
look how unrealistic long his legs look when he appears and how he walks down the stairs

I agree Sly has lost height. I would say he is 5'8-5'8.5 today.

Junior31 says on 1/Mar/15
What is the argument? Easiest height on the site. Woke up 5'9 in his prime and walked around a strong 5'8. Now he wakes up a mid 5'8 and goes to bed around 5'8 flat.

5'10 absurd. 5'7 absurd. Hmmmm what are the 2 heights in between? Lol
When you guys start talking about 1/8th of height I immediately stop reading. Most ppl couldn't tell .5 an inch let alone .125

C'mon now

Celebheights 6'1.5"-6'2" says on 24/Feb/15
Just to remind people of how tall he appeared by Ryan Lochte:

Click Here

There's no way that lifts would make a 5'8" guy appear just 1"-2" shorter than him.

---

If Michael Phelps is really only the 6'2.5" he's listed at on this site, Lochte is only about 6'0", possibly a hair over it. Lifts can most certainly make a 5'8" guy look 5'10" - 5'10.5" and depending on posture and camera angles even taller.

the shredder says on 1/Mar/15
He can't be 5'10 or 5'10.75 range because Mr.T is not even 5'11 , he also can't be 5 '7 because that is too damn short to look as tall as he can.

Frankie68@ If Rob doesnt believe Sly is 1.74 why he lists him 5ft8.5?
Can you explain this to me? Rob is the creater of this site.I think you dont know who the Rob is?Rob is the person who runs this site.He listed sly 1.73 cm years ago then he changed it to the 1.75cm.Now he downgraded Sly to 1.74 because of the height lose due to his age.I agree with you Sly definetly isnt a tall person thats sure. Whether he is 5ft9 5ft8 or 5ft7 he is short.American avarage male height is 5ft9.75.Sly was never over 5ft9 in his life.But he never dropped below 5ft8 either.You can say 5ft7 I have respect for that.You are not my enemy we are just arguing for height.We are here for logical explanation and guessing heights.I am only making sense of humour,no need to get agressive.For me Sly was 5ft9 in his peak and 5ft8 now.For you it may be different there is no problem for that.

HeightcrazyRed6ft says on 27/Feb/15
He did look between 6"-6´1" in big footwear so I think the shortest he could measure is 5´8.5"peak

Imo his evenig peak was just a tad short of 5´9".

today, especially with the Klitschkos he looks 5´8"flat max

Frankie68 says on 27/Feb/15
@bernie...i agree with u. ...everyone here has opinion of slys height....some people claim hes short...some say average....but nobody ever claims hes tall...so im sure hes short...just how short,,,who knows unless u meet him....i always say 5'7 range simply to imply his excessive footwear...forinstance ...if he is truly 5'9 5'8 or 5'10 flat ...he would prob go over a 6' appearance in shoes or boots....but to give the 5'10 look in boots or shoes...he would probably fall under the 5'8 range cause of his extreme footwear....its just logical...,when u look at expendabled pics of sly,bandares.gibson,,,and statham together...they look kind of the same size...but if sly was flat footed hed be shorter than them....if sly is standing next to a 5'9 or 5'10 person pulling off there height...than hed be shorter flatfooted cause of his shoes...

bernie says on 26/Feb/15
In the end it's not that important if 5'7 or 5'8 or 5'9 or in between for this legend, he's a great star anyway. Concerning me, i am not insisting on my 5'7.75"-5'8" nowadays/ 5'8.5" peak is possible...thats just an estimation, and i think i am not far away from the truth (by having seen almost all his movies). But none of us knows it exactly to half an inch without having stand next to him when he's barefoot. Call me ignorant, but 5'7" seems a bit to low and 5'10"-5'10.75" (MJKoP's claim) i simply can not believe...

Arthur says on 25/Feb/15
Just look at the King Robs listing on the site.Does it say 5f10 or 5ft7.NOOOO!

Frankie68@ Frankie you are a nosense person everyone here knows that.Most of us not agree with you they agree with me.You are the only ıgnorant person claiming sly is 5ft7.Noone in here claims that.Only some wannabe guest people in celebheights will claim 5ft7 for Sly.I have 3 years of experience in this site.
Repeating 5ft7 wont make it right.You can say 5ft7 anytime but lots of intelligent and experienced people will never believe it.Be happy with your 5ft6/5ft7 height.But Sly is taller than you.Thats the real truth.

Arthur says on 25/Feb/15
Frankie68@ What are you talking about? bernie also thinks sly is 5ft7.75 nowadays.He never said sly is 5ft7.You are the only absurd person claiming Sly is 5ft7.Claim that 10-15 years later than you will be right.Once again most of people in celebheights thinks Sly was beetween 5ft8 to 5ft9 in his peak.You dont seem to know much about height.You are downgrading everyone to fit your agenda.I dont wanna be rude but There are 2 ignorant person in celebheights

1-MJKOP ''Sly is 5ft10 I saw him years ago he is taller than my brother''
2-FRANKİE 68 ''Sly is 5ft7 he always wears 5inch shoes''

Frankie69 says on 24/Feb/15
@arthur...u talk about me...its a joke..."liftless sly"...like u know he's "liftless"...u give ignorant a whole new meaning....id bet my life hes NOT "liftless"....id bet my life hes NEVER "liftless" anytime he goes out in public....especially when hes with arnold ...u talk about me.....do us all a favor and STOP commenting here.....

Frankie68 says on 23/Feb/15
@parker ...my guess is that sly would be closer in height to him without his shoes on....sly would be 3 inches shorter ...minimum ...flatfooted...

Arthur says on 23/Feb/15
bernie@ I think same as you he is 5ft8 nowadays.He was probably 5ft9 in his prime but nowadays he is beetween 5f7.75_5ft8 area.

bernie says on 22/Feb/15
@Arthur - the "liftless Sly" here beside 5'11" Arnie is miles away from 5'9" and needless to say lightyears away from 5'10" (which some few peolpe still claim..)
I'd say 5'8" best, if that.. what do you think?

Brad, he's a 70 year old man. Men his age on average lose a little over an inch. In his youth he was 5'8.5". Today, at 70, he's closer to 5'7.5" imo. Deniro looks to be 5'6.5"-5'7" these days. Was easily over 5'8" at his peak.

joelj says on 21/Feb/15
Nope, stone is 5' 6.5" without heels

184.3cm says on 21/Feb/15
Thats a good pic Parker, i would guess Jason and Snipes edge Sly out in that pic if he didnt have so much hair. Lutz is maybe 4 in taller.

184.3cm says on 21/Feb/15
I will try again..im amazed he pulled this off next to a 5'11 guy Click Here

Arthur says on 20/Feb/15
Dont mind Frankie he is not from this planet.He is living in his own fantasy world.I cant understand why some people claiming Sly is 5ft7 or 5ft10.Its very sure Sly is in the 5ft8 to 5ft9 area anything below or above are garbage facts.

bernie says on 20/Feb/15
@184.3 - correct, but i'd go more like 5'7" for S.Stone to be honest. She in 3 inch heels, to take "specialist" for referrence, appears pretty same height as 5'9" E.Roberts.(He's also in shoes, so he may be about 178cm). I'd stay for 5'8" max. for Mr. Stallone.

the shredder says on 19/Feb/15
De Niro looks 5'5.5 there

Ryan says on 19/Feb/15
Rob, are you sure his peak was 175cm, don't you think is a little more, like 176-176.5cm tops. Even the fact that from his 20, for over 40 years he lost only 1cm is a little bit weird, when his similar, Arnie lost something like 2 inches

[Editor Rob: Arguing 176 isn't impossible, but generally around 5ft 9 I think barefoot. I don't think he put his spine under as much pressure as someone like Arnie, who was pumping much bigger weights and over many many years those discs are going to take a punishment.]

Brad says on 19/Feb/15
Stallone is in typical custom made elevator footwear with DeNiro

Frankie68 says on 19/Feb/15
@parker...I get what u say....look how thick Sly's shoes are....deniro wearing flimsy ,,very ordinary shoes....deniro would be taller if there booth flat footed....even in dress shoes Sly's shoes are vey thick ...deniro doesn't care how tall he looks....I think there both under 5'8.... I think there very ordinary sized men....

Steve says on 19/Feb/15
De Niro is wearing what appear to be regular loafers. We all know Stallone wears lifts. Remove them and they'd be closer to the same height. That said, Stallone is taller than 5'7". Just how much taller is the question.

Parker says on 19/Feb/15
If Stallone is 5'7 DeNiro is not more than 5'6.

Frankie68 says on 18/Feb/15
To all my haters on this site....(lol)...pics of rocky with adonis creed are on the internet...5'11 michael b jordan clearly taller than sly on his monsters boots...5'7 for sly flat...no changing my mind

kev says on 17/Feb/15
Never a legit 5' 10 in his life a very weak 5' 9 peak 5'7 now

CDS says on 16/Feb/15
As a child of the '80s, I once asked my mother how tall she thought Stallone was- she replied, about 6'2"! LOL Of course, she obviously was not the greatest at height estimation since she put Michael J. Fox at 5'8" and Tom Cruise at 6 foot! LOL I dunno about the 5'7" claim, but I'd say Stallone's own statement about his height- at 5'10 1/2" could've been in shoes and with the hair- which back then he had a lot of it all piled up as most did in the '80s, which might put him in actuality in the low 5'8" range-??

Frankie68 says on 16/Feb/15
Sly is 5'7....

184.3cm says on 15/Feb/15
@ Danimal

Stallone isn't your average 65 + man though. Around 2 cm loss (0.75) is more than believable for him considering his posture and fitness level.

Hypado says on 14/Feb/15
Stallone cold be 176cm in the peak, but now, 174 cm for this living legend is SPOT ON.

@Demeyer

Rob has him listed 185cm so i just went with that. It means Sly is 174cm in that pic and also with Arnie in Expendables 1 premiere. So Rob has this one nailed.

5'8.75-5'9 peak
5'8.25-5'8.5 current.

A 70 year old man loses a little over an inch on average, yet you're cutting that height loss in half for Sly? He's around 5'7.5" today. He was an inch taller at his peak.

bernie says on 12/Feb/15
shower scene in the specialist, has ca. 1 inch on 5'7" S.Stone (thats what i see). So my estimation was and is 5'7.75"-5'8"max. without shoes.

the shredder says on 12/Feb/15
He looks 5'10 , 5'11

Now I know how the infamous "2 inch rule" originated in Hollywood. A certain NYC photographer allowed all celebrities to inflate their height by 2 inches in order to support is own inflated height claim.

Left the lifts at home that day with 185cm listed Caviezel.

He looks less than 3 inches shorter than a 6'1 guy in that pic.

Icehole73 says on 9/Feb/15
If Ray Liotta is 5'11" then I'd give Sly 5'8.75". He has sneakers on and for once, SLy isnt wearing his heels. Holding his own to only a 2-3" difference.

184.3cm says on 8/Feb/15
@Jesse
How are those not flat?:o They are slip ons they barely give 1cm of height. Granted maybe Sly has something in there but he looks relaxed there which is very uncommon for him if you search for pics. In fact this is the only pic i found where you see the height difference, Sly has it down to 1.5 inches max in other pics lol.

Frankie68 says on 8/Feb/15
@bernie...i'll agree ...i 'll give her 5'7....and that put sly at the same height...he looked no taller than her....(shower scene)....all im sayin is for years people in hollywood claim hes not as tall as he appears....it started from somewhere...

Jesse Stone says on 8/Feb/15
Well, but Nielsen has no flat shoes in hat photo, To be fair!

michaeljrocks says on 8/Feb/15
If you see pics of Sly with 5'6 UFC champion Ronda Rousy at the Expendables premier, he appears several inches taller than her in every pic, regardless of camera angle. Sure he's most likely wearing lifts, but there is no way his shoes would give him any more lift than the heels she is wearing. If he was any shorter than Rob has him listed there is no way he would look that much taller than Ronda in heels. They are elevator shoes, not miracle shoes.

Brad says on 7/Feb/15
Richie did, probably Sunnyside Sal, a NY grapher of great portificationality and chaskeyitiswhereman. G had him at Sly out of mouth figures to support is own 5' 8" (reality 5' 6.5") agenda in shots. He's in heeled and wedged customs with Nielsen in a lovely peach outfit.

My claim is :
5ft9 peak
5ft8 nowadays

With Nielsen who is in flat shoes. Close to 3 inches difference, leaving him round 5'9 at peak again..

bernie says on 7/Feb/15
Frankie68@ about you 5'7" claim for Sly there is room for argue, i say he's 5'7.75", was maybe 5'8" peak, but 5'5"/ 5'6" for S. Stone..sorry, that makes you pretty less credible. She's definately not under 5'7".. Could even buy 172cm for her..

Feankie68 says on 6/Feb/15
@brad...agreed....he never hit 5'8...either...we know the rocky 3 scene...and creed is slouching...sly is standing in his perfect posture position...and is still 4inches shorter...

5'10 is out of the question but I think 5'9 am height in the inception of the rocky movies was a possibility. What do you think his peak was brad?

bernie says on 6/Feb/15
@richie 5'10" during the 80's? So why then he appears in some scenes same height as Burt Young (ca. 172cm) and has ca. 3 inches on max. 5'4" Talia Shire! Watch him walking side by side with her for a few seconds in Rocky II just before the promotion shooting almost barefeet.. Far away from 5'10", seems more like 5'7.75"

I think you are thinking you are the most intelligent person in here and all of us are stupid or something.Believe what you want but you have to be polite to everyones opinion here.½70 of people in celebheights wont believe your unrealistic claims here.If you clearly look at the sly adidas sneaker photo you can see there is no place for lifs and you can easily see Slys feet are very flat in this photo.But you cant even see that.Find yourself a good pair of glasses first.Downgrading everyone and repeating it wont make anyone shorter.I never claimed sly is 5ft11 or sharon stone is 5ft10.But they both around 5ft8-5ft9 area.You dont need to do math to guess anyones height.Just look at the body porpotions.Click HereClick Here
They dont look like they are 5ft7 or 5ft6.

Watch Rocky 3 and note just prior to the final fight, Stallone is standing with Weathers who was a legit 6'1", Stallone is wearing flipflops with no lifts, Weathers has no more than 3 inches on him, fact.....During his peak years Stallone was on or around the 5'10" mark, no question, he may have lost an inch as we all lose a fraction as we age but during the 80's he was 5'10"

Feankie68 says on 6/Feb/15
@arthur...whos to say theres no wedge in his sneakers with flavin in the pic...you......a lift wearer is always a lift wearer...its part of his insecurity......i'll file it under laughable...along with 5'8 sharon stone...show me a pic were she looks 5'11 or 6' ...cause by your own foolish words sly is 5'8 or 5'9 and with his lifts ,,,youve argued with me hes 5'11 or even 6'....so sharon stone must be near 6' in heels as well...since you sware shes 5'8 as well.......cant wait for your answer....

Junior31 says on 5/Feb/15
I can't help but think how most people would never be able to tell a quarter of inch difference without a stadometer

Rob do you believe that the taller someone is the harder it is to say there.1/8ths and 1/4 of an inch??????

[Editor Rob: for anybody it is hard to say 1/4 inches, but sometimes a 1/4 or 3/4 inch could be given sometimes as a representation of a range - like say 5ft 9.25, the person could look anywhere in 5ft 9 - 9.5 range.]

@Danmial: Well, actually I bought them cause I've been curious. Reading about the effect of insoles and elevator shoes all the time... You know I just went out to see how it really is to wear some sort of them. And you are right, I'm taller than Mr. Stallone has ever been and about average.

Jesse.

Arthur says on 4/Feb/15
Some people here posting terrible barefoot pictures of Sly with bad posture and bad angle.I can say this is not the case.We need to find good barefoot pictures of Sly to guess the reality.

Arthur says on 4/Feb/15
Frankie68@ Frank I like you personally, the real truth is we will never know
Slys real height without measuring him or seeing him barefoot.We can only guess it.I dont care the stallones height.He can be anywhere beetween 5ft7 to 5ft9.5.
There is no shame of being in any height really.I repeat my opinion orderly because this is a height site.İn my daily life I dont think about it so often.
All I can say celebheights is an interesting and exciting site with a sense of humour.I have respect for your opinion too.I have respect for everyones opinion here.Slys height is an interesting fact because he is the height master.He likes
confusing people with wearing lifts and elevator shoes.To sum up I thank the KİNG Rob Paul for such a great site and I thank all the people in here for their opinions.

I made an investigation and I was really surprised: Days ago I bought myself (for fun) a pair of insoles. Bare feet I am 5'9.5 tall. With boots and my new lifts I stand 6'1 !! I measured and showed it to some friends. They were a bit confused when I opened the door and stood 6 foot 1 inches tall in front of them. So if I can do that so easily, what can custom-made elevator shoes for celebrities do...?

Why would you want to boost your height by 3.5"? I'm sorry, but why are you so self-conscious about your height? You are average male height. You realize that anyone who gets to know you and realizes your TRUE height when you take off your shoes will realize that you're very insecure. Just accept you for who you are. There are men who are much much shorter than you who walk around with confidence. That is what you're missing, not height.

Celebheights 6'1.5"-6'2" says on 4/Feb/15
G should just round up and claim 5'7" (which isn't a bad height at all). I can understand why somebody wouldn't want to include the '.5"' at the end of their height.

Danimal says on 4/Feb/15
Brad says on 3/Feb/15
You believe the G? As of '15 he's on another site saying he is 5' 8" in that picture when he's 5' 6.5" tops. Sly has the 3" difference with a wedge thrust. Sly is weak 5' 8" in '15.
[Editor Rob: I believe G went to a hypnotherapist and asked him to hypnotise him into believing he's 5ft 8!]

You believe the G? As of '15 he's on another site saying he is 5' 8" in that picture when he's 5' 6.5" tops. Sly has the 3" difference with a wedge thrust. Sly is weak 5' 8" in '15.

[Editor Rob: I believe G went to a hypnotherapist and asked him to hypnotise him into believing he's 5ft 8!]

Arthur says on 3/Feb/15
G said Sly has normal footwear in this photo. G also says he can spot shoe lifts immediately.So Sly has normal footwear in this photo.There are cleanly 2inch difference in this photo. So Sly was 5ft9 15 years ago in his peak.
Nowadays he is around 5ft8.Rob whats your thoughts on that ?

Brad says on 2/Feb/15
Sly wears customs in NYC on the street.

Jesse Stone says on 2/Feb/15
@Frankie68: You can post a photo when you copy the link from the opened picture into a site called: tinyurl.com! Then click the button "Make tiny URL". It is created now and the short link can be posted here. If this instruction isn't that helpful, I believe Rob posted a video on YouTube how to do it exactly.

Looked 5'9" peak with young G.

Arthur says on 2/Feb/15
If sly has lifts G also has 2inch portmans.So Sly doesnt have much footwear advantage in this photo.

SLY 5ft8.5
G 5ft6.5

bernie says on 1/Feb/15
Absolutely! I'd be very anxious about to see that pic, Sly barefoot next to G barefoot.!!!
I'm very sure the height difference will be reduced to a minimum immediately...

Frankie68 says on 31/Jan/15
@arthur...furthermore i actually think it proves my point...imagine how short he is without his lifts on...that pic is from "daylight" ...ive seen that pic before....he has loaded boots on with docker pants ...its from daylight...hes no taller than that guy...if hes lucky

Frankie68 says on 31/Jan/15
@arthur...seen the pic...yeah sly looks taller...cause he has shoe lifts on....hes probably the same height....an intelligent observer of height like yourself should know that...show me sly barefoot next to him...than we can talk...and u claim i dont make sense...lol...i'll file this under laughable like u do...

Frankie68 says on 30/Jan/15
@arthur.....sly is 5'7....if someone can tell me how to load pics to this site ...i would be more than happy..

Brad says on 30/Jan/15
5' 6.5" bagged out fer miles 7 hours after wake-up in the Bronx. Volvo back bed gets you the Rob measured G. Sal, I can't leave the Volvo, it'll drop me I'm sure, remember the mustud n napkun n fwies. Walkin' on the dock of the bay in junior Munsters. Sly loves same height italian-american bodyguards like Zito.

Arthur says on 30/Jan/15
Frankie@ The person I posted in the photo is Glenn who was kicked of the site
years ago and he is around 5ft6.5.You can clearly see Sly is taller than him.

H50 says on 30/Jan/15
Arthur: so what? He's wearing lifts in the photos. That's all. I'm 5'9". He's just under my height after standing right next to him. Concentrate on movies before he hit it big. Like Capone. Or TV show Kojak. They always get taller after hitting it big. Always.

Arthur says on 30/Jan/15
Rob how can I coumminicate with you personally?.Do you got an email adress?
I want to post you personal height videos.

[Editor Rob: put attn:height in the subject to robpaul @ gmail .com]

Arthur says on 30/Jan/15
Frankie68@ At first I used to think same as you.I used to
think Sly is as short as 5ft7 but then I learned the truth.Actually he is taller than 5ft7.Just look at this pictures and judge again.Click HereClick Here

Custom made built up Rambo boots made Sly very happy, like Portmans in celeb shots with a departed height expert of some sort. G really?

Brad says on 28/Jan/15
Correct: G 5' 6.5"/SS: 5' 8.5". Sly's NYC sandals were wedged up customs....you can't be on the streets of NYC without them.

Jesse Stone says on 28/Jan/15
I made an investigation and I was really surprised: Days ago I bought myself (for fun) a pair of insoles. Bare feet I am 5'9.5 tall. With boots and my new lifts I stand 6'1 !! I measured and showed it to some friends. They were a bit confused when I opened the door and stood 6 foot 1 inches tall in front of them. So if I can do that so easily, what can custom-made elevator shoes for celebrities do...?

Mathew says on 27/Jan/15
Brad says on 23/Jan/15
Frank says 6-1. File under laughing. He must be on the Sly height support group. Wish Mathew was here in '06, he'd need a big umbrella for the 5' 10" (and over) rain.

---

I actually do remember those days lol. G insisted Sly was about 2" taller than him. Which actually wasn't a bad an estimate imo, he was just off on his own height.

Joe says on 27/Jan/15
Stallone has been cryptic about his height, he is 5'7.5, and for good reason, the ideal action hero is around 6 feet tall. He has claimed to be 5'11" when he was portraying Rambo and Rocky but in reality he was not even close to that height, and most people who have known him say he was never more than 5'7.5" without shoes. I was watching Rambo 3, and standing next to Richard Crenna who was 6'1", Crenna was more than 5 inches taller than Stallone, it was clear he was much taller, maybe Sly forgot to wear his lifts during filming. If you see him in Rocky, he looks only slightly smaller than 6'2" prime Carl Weathers, but again in Rocky Stallone is wearing boots, and you know he has lifts inside. Regardless you have to admire that Stallone has become one of the most famous and iconic people in history, he is recognized everywhere, regardless of his height.

@TJ: relating to the pic jesse Stone posted recently: You can clearly see Arnie has ca. 2.5 inches on Sly. Sly himself packed out those big ones cowboy boots, obviously giving him easily 2.5 inches, more like 3 inches (who knows whats actually inside?), and considering the whole body proportions.. Sly's way smaller like Frankie68 mentioned. So Arnie's max. 184-185cm with shoes here (was never more than 184-185cm barefeet in his prime). Considering these facts, how can Sly be 5'8.5" or even 5'9" barefeet? Like i said, 5'7.75" best.. can't be more than that...
Rob Will agree with me sly has just normal cowboy boots that give 1.75in while are has 1.3ish so sly has 1cm boost so 5'8.5 and 5'11.5 fits well

Parker says on 27/Jan/15

@tj....slys cobra boots arent an exaggeration...over the top boots too...his rocky boots and boxing shoes either.....everyone sees what they want ....thats fine...thats what this site is for....i like everyones point of view....but i think i make valed points too....that all...i just cant see him at 5'8 or 5'9 ...givin his footwear

Frankie Why dont you make your own site and list Sly as 5ft7 in your fantasyworld site.This is a reality site.Noone will believe your 5ft7 garbage.
I am getting suspicious about your height.I think you are around 5ft7 and making sly shorter because of that.Stop being a wannabe and respect any height.There is no shame of being on any height.We said millions of times
4inch shoes will never give you 4inch.You stucked at 4inch shoes.Keep your
mind off about that shoes.Most you can gain with elevator shoes are around
3-3.5 inch range.So there is no chance of Sly to be 5ft7 in his peak.I can agree he is around 1.72-1.73cm nowadays.But 5ft7 is no sense.You are talking
about math but you are doing it wrong.

Brad says on 27/Jan/15
Frank must be in the Bieber blog mode on height, a G thang.

TJ says on 26/Jan/15
Frankie68, you seem to have really latched on to the 4-4.5 inches shoe argument. Repeating it doesn't make it any more accurate. Putting aside the fact that the Italian shoemaker who made the claim was probably promoting his own shoes and exaggerating what could be achieved, Sly obviously doesn't wear those shoes all the time anyway. Sly can absolutely pull off 5'11 in shoes sometimes and perhaps even 6ft on rare occasions in his most flattering footwear. There is no chance of a 5'7 man doing that, but every chance of a man of 5'8.5 - 5'9 doing so with good posture and the biggest shoes he can get his hands on. I'll repeat what Arthur said - his shoes do not give him 4 inches. A woman doesn't get 4 inches from 4 inch heels either. Given that Sly doesn't really get 4 inches from his footwear and that you have accepted that Sly can sometimes pull off 5'11, you should now recognise that he is taller than 5'7.

Frankie68 says on 26/Jan/15
Sly getting way more than 2.5 inches in the pic with armold...2.5 is just his heel....arnold would be towering over him...look how small slys hips /legs are compared to arnold....and the most important thing that everyone misses...knee height...how could his knee height be that close to arnolds yet appear way shorter....its cause of inner shoe lifts...that y......@arthur ...see im an expert...lol

Frankie68 says on 26/Jan/15
@arthur...it dont take an expert to know hes no more than 5'7....

bernie says on 25/Jan/15
Pic from Jesse Stone: In this period Arnie was 6'1" with (normal) shoes on. He has about 2.5 inches on Sly, and Sly's cowboy boots give him at least 2.5 inches. Not an extreme difficult calculation..there's definately no more left than 5'7.75" barefeet for Mr. Stallone here..! Far away from 5'9" or even 5'10" (barefeet of course)...lol

Arthur says on 24/Jan/15
Frankie@ I told you millions of times 4inch shoes wont give you 4inch in reality.
They give 2.5-2.6 inch at most.I reccomend you to do a little search on this site.
Check out the elevator shoes and shoe lifts articles.You got a lot to learn If you want to be a height expert like Rob Paul.

Frankie68 says on 24/Jan/15
There u got it Jesse stone....now take those 4inch plus boots off him...and u'll see how small he is.....Arnold would be towering over him.....go find the "rocky 1" pic of sly and Burt young outside the meat place...he looks taller than sly....idk how to post pics here.....than by rocky 2. He's 4inches over paulie.....lol

5 '7 is those not being realistic. Height complex little boys.

Frankie68 says on 24/Jan/15
Thank you soupeman....i dont understand some of these height estimates here either...i just laugh...i love when they say "hes 5'10". "5'11" in 4inch plus shoes...and than say hes 5'9 flatfooted....what happened to the 4inch plus lifts?......lol....its just logic

Jesse Stone says on 24/Jan/15
Now stop and take a look at reality: A picture of a planet hollywood event lots of years ago. I tried to find this one with their footwear visible. Here you can see Sylvester wearing pretty high Cowboy Boots while Arnold in normal shoes. And he is still A LOT taller than Sly. -- just take a look Click Here

It's up to you to tell what height he really is, but from all I saw by now (and the barefoot photos I've posted with Flavin), my argument is that he's never been taller than 5'8 1/2 or even just a small fraction over 5'8. And that in his prime.

Arthur says on 24/Jan/15
5ft7 for Sly is bull****.Some short people here trying to make him shorter.
But a lot of us know he is beetween 5ft8to5ft9.Both 5ft7 and 5ft10 are laughable for Sly. 4inch shoes 4inch shoes 4inch shoes........ He always wears 4inch shoes.What next flesh coloured foot lifts!!!!!!!

soupemann says on 23/Jan/15
Is Frankie the only sane person here? Why bother Frankie? These types wont face the reality..the obvious.. The logical sly was never ever over 5'7"

Brad says on 23/Jan/15

Arnie is 5'11.5 with décent heeled Brown shoes that gives 1.3-1.4in he is solid 185cm 6'0.8-0.9in sly is arguably 2-2.5in smaller so lets say 2.25 so almost 6'1 minus 2.25 than 5'10.5-10.75 shoes his boots defenetly dont give more than 1.75-1.8 in so 5'9 at worst 5'8.5

Rob, how tall does Frank Stallone claim to be?
[Editor Rob: Frank says he's 200 pounds at Six Foot One...height inflation runs in the family I guess.]

Really? The 200 pounds I have no problem believing (he's a bit chunky), but 6'1" is just laughable. 5'10"-5'11" at best, right?

184.3cm says on 22/Jan/15
Could be heading towards 5'8 flat though soon. I dont see him less than 175cm at peak, so 5'8.75-5'9 peak and .5 inch loss today. So maybe 5'8.25 in 2015.

Brad says on 22/Jan/15
Bieber to Sly: Where did you get those boots?

Arnie is 5'11.5 with décent heeled Brown shoes that gives 1.3-1.4in he is solid 185cm 6'0.8-0.9in sly is arguably 2-2.5in smaller so lets say 2.25 so almost 6'1 minus 2.25 than 5'10.5-10.75 shoes his boots defenetly dont give more than 1.75-1.8 in so 5'9 at worst 5'8.5

Dmeyer says on 22/Jan/15
When sly is in his best shoes and posture he can look 1.5-2in smaller than arnie who is 6'0.5 in shoes now and was 6'1 shoes 5-10 years back so sly is defenetly 5'10.5-11.25 depending on shoes so has to be 5'8.5-9in

Frankie68 says on 22/Jan/15
There are "rocky3" youtube videos of hulk hogan stating sly is in great shape but is 5'6 5'7 at best....mr.t as well saying sly is a "little guy" ...theres the actress from "fist" whos 5'8 and said shes taller than him and was told to wear flats in the movie because of this reason....look it up...

Steve says on 21/Jan/15
Jesse, who in God's name is the woman in the photo with legs that look like a concentration camp victim? Is she for real?

I think Stallone's peak height was 5'8 & 1/2". Lifts put him at over 5'10". No way was he 5'7".

Frankie68 says on 21/Jan/15
@jesse stone...I agree ....Sly's height of 5'9 or 5'10 is the biggest joke in Hollywood....period...

Frankie68 says on 21/Jan/15
@arthur....he will keep up with him in his 4inch plus shoes....and Arnold isn't 6'1 either nowadays....he's lucky if he's 6'.....so sly can and is conceivably 5'7....not a doubt in my mind....u put 4inch plus boots/shoes or whatever he wears on a 5''7 man.....u"ll see a huge difference in height appearance....after all.....isn't it why sly wears monsters?

burby says on 21/Jan/15

Jesse Stone says on 21/Jan/15
And there you go: These could look like normal dress shoes (his left foot), but he wasn't careful enough and his trouser got stuck (right foot). Now we see how much space there is to put lifts in! Click Here

Arthur says on 21/Jan/15
Frankie@ I didnt say Arnold is 6ft2 but he is definetly hitting 6ft1 in his shoes.So Sly cant be 5ft7 otherwise he cant keep up with Arnold like this.Click HereClick HereClick Here

Frankie68 says on 21/Jan/15
@arthur ...sly is 5'7....arnold is no where near 6'2....and there are plenty of pics of sly and arnold from there younger days.where sly looks much shorter even in his 4inch plus boots....arnold actually looks under 6' nowadays...(y idk) but he does...neilsens flats in cobra vs slys massive boots ....is a no brainer....he was still much shorter....believe what u want....i believe hes closer to 5'7 than being closer to 5'8 or 5'9....and he def isnt 5'9 flatfooted ...thats for sure...so the issue really is whether he is 5'8...cause hes def not 5'9 or 5'10 flatfooted....

Anthony says on 20/Jan/15
Parker, I agree that his footwear is more modest than in the past, but there's a good chance he's at least packing a slight lift in those dress shoes. The guy's been wearing lifts his entire career; why would he stop now?

6ftMagician says on 20/Jan/15
@the shredder, I politely disagree. Key word = LIES. I cannot stand lies. Especially not a lie which contradicts the very masculine traits Stallone supposedly embodies. There is no shame in being any height, not least 5'8'' strong. That is enough, I would think to annoy anyone, almost as much as 5'10'' guys devaluing the meaning of a true 183cm guy like myself with their lies. In a different life I'd claim 6'1 or 6'2, I just been brought up to be honest.

Arthur says on 20/Jan/15
Wearing 5inch-6inch elevator shoes ragulary will cause feet and leg distortion problems.So it is impossible for Sly to wear them reagulary.He sometimes wears normal shoes and still manages to look a weak 5ft8.5-5ft9.Click Here

Arthur says on 20/Jan/15
Frankie@ a 5ft7 man will never look like this.Click Here
Stop downgrading Sly. We are not saying Sly is 5f10. But it is sure he isnt
5ft7.I dont know your height but If you are 5ft7 or 5ft6 try 5inch elevator shoes and measure yourself in them.You will never measure 6ft yet alone 6ft1.Arnold is hitting 1.85cm-1.86cm in this photo I posted and Sly is nearly same as him.So that means Sly is hitting 1.84cm-1.85cm in his biggest lifts (probably 5inch range elevator shoes)So it is impossible for him to be 1.70cm.Listen my advice wear that 5inch elevator shoes and measure yourself they will give you 10cm-11cm at most and keep in mind everyone has shoes.So they will give you 8cm-9cm total.You are saying Briggitte Nielsen as proof.
Brigitte Nielsen is the same height as Arnold.So it is very normal for Sly
to look shorter than her.And also you are saying Sly always wears 4inch shoes.İts impossible to wear them regularly because they are very hard to walk in.Its very possible to injure your ankles with them.Men has different feet shape than women.And I will post you a last photo.İn this photo Sly really wearing lifts and looks close to 6ft.Here it is Click Here

@Anthony - enhanced footwear? Stallone suffers from the Cruise syndrome, people think they have enhanced footwear when their barefoot lol. Those dress shoes Stallone has on in that pic won't give him an inch.

John B says on 19/Jan/15
Just seen expendable 3, and I had to laugh most of these so called hard men of action were 5'9 or under - Stallone, Statham, Jet li, Banderas, Gibson, Snipes, Anold is struggling to look or hold 5'11 - so these short guys kicking the back sides off the bad guys but waite Stallone is 6,8 Arnold is 67, Harrison Ford us 71, Gibson 58 - so very old men looking really short shouldn't maybe running around thinking they are not a day over 30 lol

6ftMagician says on 19/Jan/15
I do not know why but this guy really annoys me. I can't stand him and his brother's height claims. There is no shame in being any height, not least anything over 170cm. Pathetic excuses for men - they preach an 'alpha' male lifestyle, yet they espouse characteristics not associated with men - namely, blatant lies and insecurity.

Stallone you are a solid 5ft 8 inch, accept it and be proud. Rob should be your role model.

Beached is on a beach. Paps are paparazzi who take pictures for money. Pop is an expression they use for hitting the take the picture button. Kinda sad I have to explain this but we have no lives debating over a 1/2" on a site, I know I don't. Ported out on a Meal money mission or Where Man loot seeker the G hits the elevated for the Plaza. That might be code. I met my astronaut and Sal delivered the fries before going upstairs for the measure. Old school code.

Stallone filmed part of Demolition Man where I used to work. I literally stood behind his right shoulder and was able see over his shoulder, looking down at a monitor on a table showing what they had just filmed.

I'm only 5' 1". And I could look down over his shoulder. How tall can he be?

Good pictures from Liotta and Stallone. Liotta is leaning a bit, but the difference is good to see. At least something where his feet are visible! Well done.

Those beach photo's prove for sure that he is under 5'9 today. Wonder when he will hit 5'8 flat maybe next 5 years or so?

Junior31 says on 6/Jan/15
Rob when it comes to height I feel that it's easier to see differences amongst ppl if average height because they are just that. Average and regularly seen. Do you think it's harder to pin point exceptionally tall people's actual height?

[Editor Rob: yes it can be, they are less common and much further from average ranges, so could have more variable guesses from people. If you asked a bunch to guess a 6ft 7 guy versus a 5ft 7 guy I think there would be a wider range of guesses for the 6ft 7 man versus the 5ft 7 man.]

netflixer says on 6/Jan/15
In Copland about 4 min in he's wearing flip-flops while standing next to Ray Liotta. Liotta is wearing sneakers giving him about 1 cm advantage:

I don't think theres an 8 cm height difference. I think it's less than that.

Sly will bulk up again for Rambo: Last Blood, then deflate again, big wedges and all. Crazy short with the fam, he needed the magic sandals.

Rey says on 5/Jan/15
Antonio Banderas is about 5'7" and 3/4 in flat feet and shaved head...I believe he would edge out Stallone, too.

Dmeyer says on 5/Jan/15
Click Here , this blue shoes sly has explain whi he looked 176-177cm in ex3 première near banderas in 1.7in cowboy boot 1.7in type wesly 0.6in converse and jason 0.6in type too , with small lifts inside wish is likely considering footpose and ROom for lifts the could give 1.5-2in , since he is 174cm with those Will pull off a bit over 5'9

Yesterday was watching the Rocky series marathon on TV. Big fan of the Rocky series. Sly did look 5'9ish in all those films. Was an inch shorter than 5'10 Mr T. Towered by Hogan and Dolph but still looked 5'9 with them as well. Today 5'8 seems right for him maybe less
I agree but today no léss than 5'8.5 as he looks a décent height at ex3 première

Dmeyer says on 3/Jan/15
More 5'8.75-5'9 in copland not under

Will says on 3/Jan/15
I bet on the money that Stallone is 5'8 1/2" now today. He always appeared to stand almost average height. But however 5'10 3/4" barefoot is not realistic for Sly to be exact.

You guys think Stallone is taller than Cruise. I say about even.

Sly's about 5'7.5" today (down from 5'8.5" peak) and Cruise has never been over 5'6 3/4" (his peak height).

I generally agree with all your estimations but cruise under 5'7 peak. That's insane. How did you come to that? Danimal and J 31
**** I expected the comment and thanks for the obvious question.
I try to be generous and shrewd and the same time. The most frustrating part and is when you have met both actors in person. How do you translate a very accurate observation? The fact that Stallone is a lot older now gives Cruise and the advantage. Cruise is a small-medium framed man, but has the proportional body with the more streamline appearance. Stallone has the upper body of a medium to medium-large man, but with very short legs. At one point the two were about even, but now I give Tom the advantage due to Sly's age. Yes, Sly has an impeccable posture, but as he ages--his legs are becoming more bowed. In flat feet and shaved heads-Cruise edges out Stallone. Stallone still has the shape (upper body) of a Steve Reeves -but smaller, while Cruise has similar shoulder, neck, chest, arms to Edward Norton, again smaller frame. I think in time more folks will learn that Sly was far below 5'9". Sly's longer arms have helped him with the allusion of greater height.

Arthur says on 2/Jan/15
I am tired of saying same things. I have respect for peoples opinions.But 5ft7 and 5ft10 are garbage.Watch Copland no lifts. He looks beetween 5ft8 to 5ft9 in this film.He looks 2.5 inch shorter than Liotta and he looks 2inch taller than Kietel.

G was a resident height expert on this site since he made his living (doctor,lawyer....ummm) meeting so many in NYC. Listed at 5' 8" in photos and in his own screaming words he was prooved (G moment) to be 5' 6.5" in them. He swore Sly was 5' 10.5"+ since "I'm 5 feet 8 with him when he was in sandals,see da picture".Fact: 5' 6" (young G pictured) was getting crushed by a 5' 8.5" Sly in NYC sandals: built up custom wedged up footwear.

[Editor Rob: like Abe Vigoda, they wheel him out every year to scream at the audience "FIVE FOOT EIGHT".]

Sly was 5'9 peak and with elevators oftenly looked 5'10 to 5'11 and since average in the 70s and 80s was 5'8.5-9in its normal that he looked above average

ritchie says on 29/Dec/14
The only occasion we saw Sly without dubious footwear was in the movie Copland where he portrayed an overweight middle aged guy. He appeared around the same height as DeNiro and had nearly 2 inches on Kietel who is 5'7". Ray Liotta who is just 6' towered Stallone by some 3 inches. Minus lifts he's in the 5'9" range, no taller..

Jesse Stone says on 29/Dec/14
@ Editor Rob: Do you think his elevator shoes are custom-made? And where could they be made?

And what's your opinion on the statement of this italian shoemaker, that he made Stallone 4.5 inches taller for 16 years...

Thank you, Jesse.

[Editor Rob: I believe the shoemaker must have made him custom boots 20-30 years back and they would have been the kind that might have given near 3 inches of height.]

Weak 5' 8" today. Cruise and Sly would be literally the same height...just like G, well maybe not the wild one. Flavin at 5' 9" owns Sly any year.

Jesse Stone says on 28/Dec/14
Stallone was never taller than Jenniver Flavin. Take a look at those pictures were they are both barefoot. On each of them Flavin is leaning a bit (probably with intention to not make him look that short).

...and so on. Be honest if she would stand straight it would make Stallone look no more than 5'8. Even when they were younger.

Frankie68 says on 28/Dec/14
Sly is 5'7.....

Danimal says on 27/Dec/14
Rob, would you be shocked if Sly let you take a pic with him wearing liftless shoes? I'm positive that in equal footwear you'd be edging him out today by close to .5".

[Editor Rob: from the 2 events he did, the NY and England one I beleive he would have pulled off looking 5ft 9.25 at least if I wore normal shoes. I doubt he'd be up for any barefoot shot without checking with the photographer to shoot a height enhancing angle.]

Peak 5'9" now 5'8". Which is good considering most people loose 2 inches or more as they age. He's seemed to have lost less height than many at his age.

Knock .5" off both his peak and current height and you've got it.

Dmeyer says on 27/Dec/14
Sly Will probably aproch 5'8.25 soon and cruise could aproch 5'7.5 if cruise has lifts and posture they should look very close

@ burby thank you! I try to be very reasonable.
I have been consistent with my post and (1 example) supported Rick Springfield's upgrade for a long time. Then, the upgrade! Hopefully, I have gained some tenure and a quiet nod from Rob. Again, Stallone is NOT, 5'9" in flat feet.

so back in the past people actually thought he was 6 feet tall? and he wore 3-4 inch lifts? Incredible. And suddenly now some say Arnold Schwarzenegger is really 6 feet instead of 6'2

bernie says on 23/Dec/14
@Arthur, yes for some reason he seems a little taller, although its not that best posture from Pele to compare...
But what is with that pic you've posted:
"Arthur says on 21/Dec/14
Looks 1.73-1.74 with Pele Click Here"
Caus' when this one is true..
"Frankie68 says on 21/Dec/14
Im sure hes on 4inch shoes with pele too...sly is short...and hes shorter than pele flatfooted...."
...there is honestly really no chance for Sly being 173-174cm...; you have to admit...

Jules says on 21/Dec/14
About 15 years ago, Stallone was in Toronto shooting a movie scene in a hotel I was staying in. I ran into him as I was walking across the hotel lobby and for a brief moment we stood eye to eye. And it really was eye to eye - he is really short. I am 5'2' and was wearing high heels (at the max 4 inches) which would at best make him 5'6'. I was shocked at how short he was!

bernie says on 21/Dec/14
@Arthur: looks like the leg length is equal, shoulder height pretty identical, maybe Pele's a little higher, and if Pele would stand as straight as he can (he does not here..) i'd say there would be no diffence between them both.
5'8.5" peak for Sly? I really doubt it... 5'7.75" peak would fit better i guess..

David says on 20/Dec/14

@Danimal: Yes, I know. Thank's for that! I just thought if somebody for whatever reason can't watch the video....

He looks no more than a flat 5'8 there. Well if about 5'8.5 was his prime he has shrunk under that with age... I know that. My dad who is now 67 years old was 5'10 in his prime and now he's around 5'9.

I already posted the entire video 2 days ago.

Vibram says on 19/Dec/14
Click Here He looks 6cm taller than 168cm Osvaldo Ardiles (far left) in Escape To Victory. On the furthest right is Bobby Moore - 179cm, and next to him Michael Caine - 184cm. Pele is said to be 171cm, but he his heading the ball. No lifts for Stallone, they're all wearing soccer boots. No camera angles. Stallone was about 174cm prime (5ft8.5), possibly weak 175cm.

Jesse Stone says on 17/Dec/14
Rob, I just saw your opinion on Stars who claim their height in footwear on C. Thomas Howell's site. I toally agree with you. But think about it: Has Stallone ever said the height he has claimed would be barefoot? I don't think so. Maybe he always claimed his "5'10" with shoes and lifts.

[Editor Rob: it is a way to cover yourself...'oh, I thought everybody said their height in shoes' or 'Oh, I must have been measured in my shoes then'.

Jesse Stone says on 17/Dec/14
@Junior31: That's exactly the evidence that can be found out there. I really don't know what this guy was thinking when he saw Sly again in 2007. Yea he's a head taller that back than.

Once again a proof that Stallone (as much as I like him as an actor) fools everyone with his height. Thanks for telling us were those pictures are to find.

Jesse.

@Junior31

I don't find that old photo particularly good for comparing heights. It's not a full body shot and we can't see how much SLY is actually bending there. Why don't you just watch the video footage of them sparring? Click Here

It's way better evidence for what you're trying to prove. If Duran was really 5'6.5, then Sly looked 5'8 tops, not 5'9. People even made observations how small he looks in the comment section.

Junior31 says on 16/Dec/14
Someone! Anyone! Please search "Sylvester Stallone Roberto Duran Rocky". In the images you will see a photo of sly with Duran. They are hugging and Stallone has his fist under Duran's chin. The photo is from 40 years ago when both were at there prime.

There you will see the 5'6.5 Duran with Sylvester EYE TO EYE. Granted Sylvester is slouching a bit in the photo but nowhere near enough to substantiate a 5'9 peak.

Now in these same photos that were searched you will see a modern pic of Sly , Duran, and Shane Mosley a 5'8 former world champion. In this photo sly has close to a FULL HEAD TALLER then the 5'8 Mosley and the 5'6ish Duran he once was a few cms from being EYE TO EYE WITH. His lifts in this picture have to be close to 4-5 inches.

This difference in the two photos is Absurd and CANNOT go unseen. They completely squash a 5'9 peak and need to be posted here

When folks say a picture says a thousand words with these two pics it's an understatement and a nail in the coffin to Slys height being at or above 5'9 peak

Rob. What is your take on these photos? Please will other posters comment on these pics I have found Again This is the case cracker in the argument

Height182 says on 16/Dec/14
So Rob, You really think Slys only lost 1cm?

[Editor Rob: half inch yes. For a man in his 60's he still did a helluva lot of intensive work last 6-7 years, I think within next 2-3 years we might be seeing a sly who will start to look barely even 5ft 8.]

Arthur says on 15/Dec/14
Sly is about the same as 5ft8.5 Graham norton. Graham norton is 5ft8.5.
So as I said before
1.74.5 cm peak
1.73 now
for stallone

Parker says on 15/Dec/14
@Danimal - A good example why opinions differ so much on this site. To me,Stallone looks taller in that video. I don't know if Stallone is packing lifts granted.

Frankie68 says on 14/Dec/14
@daninal...been telling u that...hes 5'7

mightyman says on 14/Dec/14
Yep he's more than 5'8 with lifts

Danimal says on 14/Dec/14
Here we have Stallone THIS year in a video with 5'8" Graham Norton (talk show host). NO WAY is Stallone taller than him, let alone even the same height as him. They stand right next to each other at 13:00 and I'm sure Stallone came packing that day too (never leaves home without them). In other words, Stallone is UNDER 5'8": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU_1ZgiiDkI

Vibram says on 11/Dec/14
Hello guys. I think this little picture is interesting because Stallone does not have footwear advantage. Click Here

It is from the 1981 film Escape to Victory. As we can see, Stallone and the players are in studded soccer boots so no player pictured has a lift advantage or disadvantage. We have 169cm Ozzie Ardiles far left next to stallone, and 172cm Pele to the right of Stallone. We can dismiss Pele because he is heading the ball. But On the far right is Bobby Moore who was between 178cm-180cm depending on sources you read, standing next to 185-186cm Michael Cain. We can estimate Stallone noticebly taller than Ardiles but shorter than 178-180cm Moore by some 4 to 5cm I would say. This puts Stallone at about 175cm for his peak, which he does look next to 169cm Ardiles.
